 I asked the Holy Spirit and Jesus for a map of the mind because I like graphics, even when I was in school I always had crayons and was like drawing things I said, give me a picture, can you give me a picture? This is getting to be a little ethereal here Can you give me a picture? And so definitely we have a picture This is our desire Our power of prayer in the middle Here's our beliefs People always say, where are my beliefs? Here's our thoughts Here's our emotions Here's our perceptions You've got to get inside here It's like anybody who watched Star Trek The first edition of Star Trek had who was in charge of the engine room? Scotty He was Scottish Captain, we've got a breach at the core That never sounded good Whenever Scotty said that to Captain James Kirk Captain, we've got a breach at the core It's like, uh-oh, the ship could explode I like Star Trek, no it can't happen I don't want the ship to blow up This is desire And you know what Jesus has to say about desire? He says, truth will be returned to your awareness by your desire as it was lost by your desire for something else You think if desire is important? Truth He's talking, truth will be returned to your awareness by your desire Not by your belief He doesn't say belief He doesn't say your thoughts He doesn't say anything about your emotions Definitely nothing about your perceptions Like climbing up a big mountain here Nope, nothing about that Swimming through the ocean to get salvation Nope, nothing about that Truth will be returned to your awareness by your desire as it was lost by your desire for something else Right outside, what is this desire? Well, in heaven Desire is completely unified So there's no such thing as desire You might say heaven is desire-less-ness Doesn't that make sense? Heaven is everything So we don't have any desires in heaven You know that you're one with God What would you possibly desire if you know that you're everything? You couldn't possibly desire anything There's no such thing as desire in heaven But in terms of the sleeping mind This is the point of prayer This is your prayer point down here This is desire And belief The first belief that ever seemed to arise Not in reality, but in psychosis in schizophrenia is the ego And this ego belief generated lots of thoughts A whole thought system based on the belief in separation And then these thoughts generated a lot of emotions Fear, guilt, shame, pain Anything you can imagine what we call the negative emotions are all generated from this belief in separation Everything that is a negative emotion is generated And then an entire world the mountains, the oceans the stars, the planets It looks like an A We have planets in this Okay, put Saturn up there We have all kinds of planets and everything The whole cosmos This over here This is a black hole Even the black hole is a projection It's all out here It's all the projection And so the best thing I can say about the map of the mind is it goes this way The perceptions are brought about by the emotions There's a ring of fear under this world Love doesn't make this world go around like the romantic songs say There's a ring of fear underneath this world That's what's making this world It's not should be too surprising with all the wars and plagues and pestilence and everything that's going on, you know throughout human history So the emotions are producing the perceptions The emotions are being determined by the thoughts You ever meet those people along the way that go feel your way to God Just feel it You go along and you start to have a conversation and they go They would feel the feelings Feel your way to God Well, sometimes they call them the touchy-feely people But the emotions are part of the equation, no doubt The feelings and the emotions are part of it But you see where they are in the equation They come on an outer ring outside of cognition outside of thoughts You know, sometimes people say get out of your head and get into your heart Has anybody ever heard that the spiritual journey? The longest journey you'll ever take is the 15 inches from your head to your heart You're not finished It goes all the way around You've got to get out of your fearful emotions and get back into your what? Your thoughts You've got to get inside there to the cognition because the thoughts are producing the emotions Now, is it important to feel the feelings? Of course, if you're up here and you think you're a human being and you've forgotten all about all this stuff and you're just kind of distracted, you know wandering through the world I'm working my job Collect my pay Believe I'm gliding down the highway Let's give him a car But in fact, slip sliding away slip sliding away If you think you're out here and you just think this is all that there is and this world up here then basically you've got to start to come underneath and go into your mind and that's where getting in touch with the emotions help bring you to like an in-road Holy Spirit is going to say let's go like this You've got to go back inside You've got to go inside your mind inside your consciousness and back towards this core desire power This is the only workplace that's going to be still and no God is down here at the core but everything out here is produced by what's underneath it and even when you get in touch with your thoughts you can believe things about your thoughts that aren't true You can actually believe that your thoughts are ineffectual Isn't that a pretty common belief? How many people do you know that when you talk about wars in the Middle East or Iraq and Iran, they go oh yeah, those are my attack thoughts I'm doing it I'm completely behind the Middle East conflict and the Iraq conflict How many people are admitting? Have you met any that say oh, it's my attack thoughts It's not a Psalm of bin Laden It's my attack thoughts Well, what about Mussolini? Well, yeah, that was my attack thoughts too I'm responsible for all the ones in history Well, what about Hitler? Yep, they admit it They say, yeah, that was my attack thoughts The Third Reich? Yeah, that was my attack thoughts You see, this is buried down there that the attack thoughts are making up this whole world In fact, Jesus says history wouldn't even exist if you didn't keep making the same mistake in the present It's like on a loop of making a wrong-minded choice and that's what linear time is It's just this wrong-minded decision playing out over and over and over One instant repeated over and over the unholy instant of time and space of the ego just getting played over and over and over Meanwhile, Jesus and the Holy Spirit are calling us back into the core so we can come back to heaven So you can believe things about your thoughts For most people we could say they do not believe that their thoughts are powerful enough to change the world or to mess the world up or to help the world or to improve Anything that they believe about their thoughts is usually like there's just these little things whirling around in the mind which they associate with the brain Most people feel it's good things that people don't know what's going on in there because if people knew what was going on they'd know how crazy I was That's usually the extent of that with thoughts So there we go, down, down, down So in the end when we talk about forgiveness forgiveness is a belief here we could say that if we took a cross-section cut across here we'll say that when all of these rings are completely lined up through desire this is where the willingness comes from the little willingness but we would say that forgiveness is the belief and your real thoughts we call them real thoughts here the emotion is love and the perception is we'll just call it healed perception This is a miracle when all of these are lined up with the Holy Spirit and that just shows that all of these have to come from a willingness to be healed in here and then everything else lines up So to me that was really helpful when I got in touch with this it was like I've always considered myself very graphic and that was like I would have loved that map in my life because I could have helped cleared up a lot of confusion when I was out there on the surface trying to fix things change things make the world a better place I got involved and I was an activist you know stop nuclear proliferation end world hunger you know getting involved in ecology and on and on and on there's a lot of effort into trying to make the world a better place and I really have to say honestly I didn't have a clue of what was going on under the surface underneath in my consciousness but once I got hold of the course it's like it made it a real straight shot to God because it's so you can just feel it in your core of your being like whoa there's actually someone who really knows the way out and the gratitude for that way shower for me it was enormous to actually have someone who's been through it all and knows the way out of course that presence could say I am the way the truth in the life because it was it is the way the truth in the life and it's beautiful to have such a clear expression
